They're not dead, they just can't offer push notifications, or automatically update your timeline when there's a new tweet. Nothing else in Tweetbot will have to change.

So that kills a lot of the point of the app?

It doesn't. There's no replacement for push notifications besides using the official app, but you can still manually refresh the timeline (via pull-to-refresh).

I don’t think so. Even with those limitations I’ll be way happier using it than the official one or a web page.
